Sprinavasa (30) grew up in the neighborhood playing at Unthank Park and spending time after school at Self Enhancement Incorporated (SEI). Going to Catlin Gabel but living in North Portland gave her a unique perspective that allowed her to adapt to being in different situations with different types of people. Though she doesn't live in North Portland anymore, because four generations of her family have lived there, she still feels connected to the neighborhood.

“What I love about the neighborhood is that you get a mixture of homes and businesses so it feels like a community, it feels like you’re in a city but yet you’re tucked away in your own environment."
